Hi Found this TRUANTS SCHOOL, HOLLOW MEADOWS, about six miles out of SHEFFIELD, SOUTH YORKSHIRE. Certified 5th March 1879 for 90 children. Became an ordinary Industrial School in 1910. Cessation of certification or closure 10th February 1922. Originally a farmhouse, apparently an annexe for Sheffield Workhouse with some 11 acres of land. Hope it helps Christine 1945 ----- Original Message ----- From: <MissCavell@aol.com> To: <ENG-SHEFFIELD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 10:09 PM Subject: [SHEFF] truants school, Hollow Meadows > Hello all, I've just found a distant rellie on the 1901 census - he was 13 > years old and an inmate of Hollow Meadows Truants school...
